How to Use Photoshop to Edit Your Images – Example: Fire Garden

You now, when you sit in a car and you drive around and you see a super cool sunset – you hit the break (yes, on the street, hehe) and jump out and take a quick snap. Thats what I did here. The colours which I got in the image didn’t do any justice to the whole thing when I was there, so I changed it. Here is the final image:

And here is the original:

There is a lot of colour manipulation involved in this one. Check the video to see how I created this image. In a nutshell, I:

used curves to add red

used gradient maps to add even more red

used more curves to remove blue and, thus, add EVEN MORE red (hehe)

used clone stamp to remove lens flare

used Hue/Saturation to make the grass green

used the same to create some red flower heads

used layers and clone stamp to make even more red flower heads

used radial blur for the clouds

used lighting to create… well the lighting effect

Well, sounds like a lot but actually its quick to do. If you ever have to change colours in an image, for instance to set a sky on fire, just have a look here and try the same techniques!
